Test Booklet
In this test booklet you’ll find:
•
an Entry test
•
a test for each File of New English File Pre-intermediate
•
an End-of-course test
The Entry test
The Entry test is an optional test which covers some of the
key Grammar and Vocabulary points from New English File
Pre-intermediate. If you feel your class are at quite a low level,
look out for the Extra support ideas in the Teacher’s Book. If
they are stronger, look out for the Extra challenge ideas.
The A and B tests
There are two versions (A and B) of each File test and the
End-of-course test, except the Speaking tests, which are

designed for students to do in pairs. To prevent students
from copying each other, make sure that a student with an
A test is sitting next to a student with a B test. The two tests
cover exactly the same material, but the questions have
been changed and reorganized to make it almost impossible
for students to copy answers. If copying isn’t a problem
with your class, you can just use the A tests.
The skills tests include KET-type exercises which reflect the
format of the KET exam.
Listening tests
All the Listening tests re-use listenings from the Student’s
Book. Some students may remember the contexts of the
listenings, but they are very unlikely to remember the
detail, and the listening exercises are KET-type tasks which
are different from the tasks that students have already done.
The Listening numbers are indicated in the Answer key.
Answer key
The Answer key for the tests starts on page 72.

Looking for love
Looking for Love is an agency that finds partners for
single people of any age. Read about Lisa.
My name’s Lisa. I’m 25 years old and I’m from
Manchester. I’m single and I’m looking for love.
I’m a journalist on a local newspaper, which means I

write stories about local issues and sometimes I
interview politicians. I like my job, but I’d like to work
on a national newspaper one day. That’s because I want
to have the opportunity to work abroad.
I have a small group of friends who I’ve known for
years. I even went to school with some of them! I’m
not really extrovert but I do like going out and having
fun. We usually go out to parties, nightclubs, and
restaurants. I also like cooking and I make great pasta!
My ideal night in is a good meal, a glass of wine, and a
DVD. I like thrillers much more than I like romantic
comedies!
I’m not very sporty, but I like to keep fit. I stopped
smoking last year and now I go running twice a week
and I sometimes go to the gym at weekends. I eat lots
of fruit and vegetables and I try not to have red meat
or too much coffee. At work, I drink water or tea.
I prefer men who are interested in serious issues
because I like talking about politics and what’s
happening in the world. However, I also like men with
a good sense of humour. These characteristics are
more important to me than physical appearance.
Please contact Looking for Love if you think you’re the
kind of person I’m looking for!

or C.
I arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in
southern Italy. My itinerary said that the plane arrived in Italy
at five o’clock in the afternoon and it was a thirty-minute
drive from the airport to the village. I wanted to get to my
destination before it got dark, so I could have a drink, watch
the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal!
The problems began at Heathrow airport. My plane was
three hours late. I walked around the airport, looked in the
shops, and drank coffee in the cafés. I didn’t eat anything.
That was a mistake! When the plane finally took off, they
gave me a cold, tasteless meal which I couldn’t eat.
We arrived in Italy in the early evening. The sun was setting
as I was collecting my bags! I missed it completely! I went to
the desk to find my hire car and that’s when I discovered the
next problem. The receptionist couldn’t find my name on the
computer and there were no more cars. There were no buses

or trains to the village, and the taxis were on strike.
The receptionist felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother,
Alessandro, who agreed to take me to the village. Alessandro
arrived in a very old car and we set off. Fifteen minutes
later … we broke down. I was tired, depressed, and very,
very hungry. Luckily, Alessandro was a mechanic. After an
hour, he fixed the car and we started driving again.
It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse.
A man opened the door and smiled. ‘Come in,’ he said. ‘We
waited for you.’ I sat with a group of the friendliest people
I’ve ever met and had an absolutely wonderful meal.

Airports are amazing mini-cities where there are
hundreds of different jobs you can do. We spoke to
three people who do very different things.
Sarah May, 34, terminal duty manager
‘I started on the information desk and I did that for two
years. Most of the time people were friendly, but
occasionally I had to deal with some difficult questions
and some very angry people. Last year, I became a
terminal duty manager. Now I deal with all kinds of
things, including passenger complaints, visits by the rich
and famous, heating failures, cleaning contracts, and
health issues. In fact, I spend a lot of time walking
around and talking to people on my mobile.’
John Hammond, 23, baggage handler

‘Doing this job means I’m very fit, because I have to
carry bags and suitcases and put them onto the baggage
trucks. The best thing about my job is the people
I work with. We have a lot of fun at work. The worst
thing is the shift work. I hate working at night and very
early in the morning. I don’t think I’m going to do this
job for ever, but I’ll probably look for something else
in the airport because I think it’s a really exciting place
to work.’
Tessa Reed, 28, airport engineer
‘I studied engineering at university and worked in an
office for a few years. I was quite bored, so when I saw
an advert for an engineer at Heathrow airport, I decid-
ed to apply. There are all kinds of things to deal with
here – ventilation, heating, escalators, lifts – my job can
be very busy sometimes. So many things can go wrong!
I’m usually very tired when I get home, but I enjoy
doing different things each day.’

desk _____.

in the airport because I think it’s a really exciting place
to work.’
Tessa Reed, 28, airport engineer
‘I studied engineering at university and worked in an
office for a few years. I was quite bored, so when I saw
an advert for an engineer at Heathrow airport, I decid-

ed to apply. There are all kinds of things to deal with
here – ventilation, heating, escalators, lifts – my job can
be very busy sometimes. So many things can go wrong!
I’m usually very tired when I get home, but I enjoy
doing different things each day.’
